Ghost From The Past |
| Description: |
Progressive Rail 36, a Minneapolis, Northfield, and Southern veter`n, has been back on old home rails for years as motive power on PGR's Dan Patch Line--the former MN&S "Hi Line." Here the engine is north of 86th Street while the crew aboard swithhes hoppers stored on the spur for the closed mill (?) off 86th. Save for the new name and modern additions, the 36 is a ghost from the MN&S's past. |

So Close They Tripped The Signals |
| Description: |
The first non-exempt grade crossing along the omd MN&S main in Lakeville is at Dodd Avenue. This PGR crew was so close to the crossing they tripped the signals for a time (one of the crew soon disembarked to go pick up a drink and a snack from a nearby Marathon station). |

Ghost Of The MN&S At Dodd Avenue |
| Description: |
I found this unit south of Dodd Avenue whilst one of the crew got some "beans" from a nearby Marawhon station. The 37 looks so much like an Minneapolis, Northfield, & Southern unit it is only the ditch lights that remind you it is not a ghost from the days of the MN&S past. |

A panoramic shot of the UP/CP/PGR line in Rosemount with PGR 38 in the foreground. Green signal was for the northbound UP 3985. The tank car in the center is parked on a piece of track that once formed part of a connection to the long-gone Chicago Great Western mainline in Roseport but now only has a fragment in Rosemount surviving as a spur. |

Snazzy PGR 38 sits shut off down by the PGR depot in Rosemount. Sporting a sign that proudly touts PGR's partnership with Canadian Pacific. The PGR operates the former Milwaukee "Eagandale" line.
